Can you let your members know about 3 CACEE Blitz. A CACEE Blitz is a drop-in format that students can talk to reps from an accounting firm about their CACEE form and receive advise and tips from the employer perspective. They will be set up in the Fishbowl Lobby on the main floor of Drake from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm. The forms do not need to be completed.

The Toronto Trip is one of the most memorable experiences to be a part of as an ASBAA member. Ten students, including the Toronto Trip Coordinator and accompanied by a faculty advisor, will travel to Toronto to experience the business hub of Canada. Students will visit the head offices of accounting firms within the greater Toronto area, as well as other big businesses in the city. This will be an excellent opportunity to network with professionals from outside of Winnipeg as well as having your resume looked at by the hiring managers of the firms we visit. In addition, students will get a chance to see major Toronto attractions and experience the social scene in the largest city in Canada. You don’t want to miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!
